An Amazon reviewer stated, "...if you like a book filled with sex (Linda Lovelace would have a 'hard' time keeping up), revenge, espionage (trailer park style), gossip (move over Barbara Eden-Harper Valley), feuding neighbors (yeah, Hatfields and McCoys), I guarantee, you will not be disappointed."

Here is what one Amazon reviewer had to say about No Lady and Her Tramp:
OMG, It is a GREAT book. I want more. I didn't want the book to end. I really like the the main couple and the things they go through. It has people that you want to club in the head, ones you want to be best friends with, ones you want to hug and say that it is going to be okay and ones you want to hate but they are all your neighbors. The sex is hot ...... The laughs are many ..... The OMGosh's are many and funny too.
Everyone has to read this. It is a super fast read because you cant put it down.
This review is from: No Lady and Her Tramp (Kindle Edition)
I picked this up with no real expectations. The book is definitely different. To me it is a black comedy. The story of a redneck, trailer park beautician who decides she will write a book. A steamy one at that.
Most of the story takes place in a trailer park in Grapevine Kentucky. The story is a collaboration between two authors and is far from predictable. Yes you know she is going to write her book but the shenanigans on the way to the conclusion provide the entertainment. I generally don't like books that shift voices but in this one it works. So you have the story being told by the two main characters and the villain.
The book was originally published in 2003 and apparently written in 2000 so it predates facebook, twtter, myspace, etc The plot relies heavily on the chat rooms of that time (mostly gone these days). The book also relies heavily on southern redneck humor so if you are easily offended you probably should pass this one up. While not "Fifty Shades of Gray" there are some fairly graphic sex scenes between the two main characters as well the villain abusing his wife. All in all the book for the most part is an R with a few pages of X thrown in.
I enjoyed it enough to consider other books by these authors.
5.0 out of 5 starsThis was great, February 25, 2014
This is not a book I would have normally picked up (I normally stick to YA fantasy), but I am so glad I did! It's amazing where the pages of a book can take you. In this case, right into the curious lives of the residents of President Park Trailer community-their actions carefully chronicled by the local gossip columnist and busy-body, Shirley Snodgrass, because as she says, "Inquiring minds want to know!"
Kristie Leigh Maguire immediately draws us into the life of the main character, Beth Ann Dixon, a hairdresser married to her childhood love, Billy Ray. One is immediately enthralled by Beth Ann's desire to become an author and we follow her unorthodox but spell binding journey into this dream. Miss Maquire has a wonderful way of fleshing out her characters, each one interesting in their own right. This was an engaging and often humorous story with some really quirky characters. I was sad when it was over and am hoping that I will encounter Beth Ann, Mary Jo, Troy, Billy Ray and Shirley Snodgrass in future publications by this entertaining author.
Find out in Kristie Leigh
Maguire's Second Chances: Love Lost, Love Found. Set in rural Wyoming, Second
Chances is a sweet contemporary western romance that will warm your
heart.
One reader stated, "I read it through in an evening, and felt as
if I had spent that evening with 'salt of the earth' folk." Another reader said,
"I loved the double, no triple, second chance. It was a very sweet
ending."
The author, Kristie Leigh Maguire, got the inspiration for
Second Chances: Love Lost, Love Found from an ad in the classified section of a
newspaper and her imagination took over from there. The ad read: "Free wedding
dress. Worn only once by mistake."
Emails from the Edge defies today's world of political correctness where
every word is carefully censored so as not to offend anyone. Kristie Leigh
Maguire is open, honest, and sometimes over-the-top funny in her email
correspondence with her friend back in the States with whom she shares
her thoughts and feelings while living overseas as an expatriate wife
during the decade of the 90s. Emails from the Edge, gives
the reader the feeling of being a voyeur, pulling back the curtain of
friendship, and finding out they are not just talking about milk and
cookies.
USA Today Bestselling Author Rebecca Forster had
this to say, "A bold, honest look at how two cultures collide and lessons
learned. Some may think KLM politically incorrect; I say she is courageous to
share her honest feelings and inner thoughts. It is really gutsy and
fascinating."
Back Cover Blurb:
Saipan is a tropical island
with clear blue waters, sandy beaches, tropical flowers, swaying palm trees,
gentle breezes and warm and friendly Micronesian South Pacific natives - plus
the added bonus of being a U.S. territory with American goods in the stores and
with American money as the local currency. What more could a girl
ask for?
All of the Japanese people on the tour were oooohing and
ahhhhing over all the duty free shops and souvenirs. I was in the local version
of Wal-Mart, oooohing and ahhhhing over shampoo and conditioner, body lotion,
Pepto Bismol, Tylenol and Motrin - and generally running wild
through the aisles like a crazy woman!
I got up before dawn each day and
sat out on my balcony by myself while my husband slept. As I watched the sun
come up, peace flooded my soul. That old church song,
"Precious
Memories", kept playing itself in my mind like Daddy used to sing
it in church. I sat out there and watched the colors tint the
clouds and the ocean waters while the refrain of "Precious memories, unseen
angels, how they ever flood my soul, in the stillness of the midnight, precious
memories scenes unfold" played over and over in my head.
I was reborn. I found myself
again. I knew that I was on the edge but I had not realized how
close I had come to losing myself till that moment.

romance. She takes you "beyond the kiss" without crossing that tenuous line
between eroticism and vulgarity. Her characters are real everyday, ordinary
people, not impossibly created heroes and heroines who could only be real in the

The beautiful and sexy Marcie
Treyhorne is a steel magnolia who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go
after it. Marcie's story began in DESERT HEAT. Her saga continues
in CABIN FEVER. Marcie leaves the blistering heat of the desert but the
searing passion she carries to the northern Nevada mountains will melt the
deepest of winter snows. The ending is a twist that will hit you like a
runaway train. You won't want to miss this
one.

again the Treyhornes' bedroom action fairly scorches the pages, but this time we
readers are in for more than a tale of unconventional romance. As we pass
through a turning point in Marcie's life with her, the questions she asks
herself seem eerily familiar. Enjoyable resolution to what really does turn out
to be the second half of a two-part tale.

Top Ten - Preditors
& Editors Poll
A quirky hysterically hilarious read that is down and
dirty!
No Lady and Her Tramp will have you rolling in the aisles as
you follow the exploits of the residents of President Park, the trailer park to
top all trailer parks. When Beth Ann Dixon buys herself a computer and decides
to write a steamy erotic novel, her husband, Billy Ray, can't do much of
anything right, not even shoot a gun. Janet Higgins is the resident Peeping Tom
- and Troy Finkmyer is the guy we all love to hate. Everybody gets into the act
and there are showdowns all over Grapevine - Grapevine, Kentucky that is.
Shirley Snodgrass is the local gossip columnist for the Grapevine Gazette and
records it all in her column, 'I Heard It Through the
Grapevine'.
These two authors, Kristie Leigh
Maguire and Mark Haeuser, by putting their talents together, have written a very
funny book laced with pure, unadulterated steam.
Kristie Leigh Maguire
The Affaire de Coeur Magazine named Kristie Leigh Maguire Best Up and Coming Author of the Year and her novel Desert Heat as Romance of the Year in their 2004 Reader/Writer Poll. Her novels Cabin Fever and No Lady and Her Tramp placed in the Top Ten in the Preditor & Editor's Poll (2005).
Kristie Leigh Maguire and her husband have lived all over the United States and many foreign countries while following his career. While living in Japan, she found it very difficult to find books to read that were written in English. This situation was intolerable as she was an avid reader and had been known to resort to reading cereal boxes if nothing else was available. Have you ever tried to read a cereal box written in Japanese? It was not a pretty picture. Ms. Maguire began writing her own books just to have something to read. She discovered a new passion in writing.
Although Kristie Leigh Maguire is originally from the South and will always remain Southern at heart, she and her husband now divide their time between southern Nevada and the US Virgin Islands. During her expatriate years she lived in St. Croix, Aruba, Thailand, Japan and three times in Saudi Arabia and visited many other countries.
What can I say? I lived in a trailer park for about three years and the comings and going of the many individuals weren't quite as spicy as the characters Kristie and Mark developed, but they were close. I could see the old football hero Billy Ray Nixon and his buddies hanging out at the Amtrack catching a brew each evening after work an discussing events of no substance. Reminded me of "Married with Children." Al and Peg Bundy make a comeback.
Billy Ray's wife Beth Anne decides it is time to get out of her everyday life and buys a PC. She is bound and determined to right a best seller so she can get out of her rut of cutting hair and being the main contributor (not by choice) to the Grapevine Gazette. The writer for the Gazette has a true axe to grind with Beth Anne and takes every opportunity to embarrass her at every turn. Well, Beth Anne is taking it no more and enters the world of cyberspace. Billy Ray thinks its an old Star Trek re-run.
What she doesn't realize is she is starting journey that will not only shake-up the entire town of Grapevine, Ky and the coming and goings of most of the residents, her research and writing is really going to spice up her marriage in ways neither of them even imagined in high school. They just thought they were having fun.
WARNING! This book is not PG rated. It is hot and steamy with more sex (at times) then the law allows. Not only to Billy Ray and Beth Anne re-ignite passion in their relationship, after Billy Ray sneaks a chapter out of the trailer (Beth Anne warned him to stay away from HER computer) and reads some excerpts to his buddies down at the Amtrack ( on a dare), Beth Anne's writings have a profound effect on them and their wives.
If you like a book filled with sex (Linda Lovelace would have a "hard' time keeping up), revenge, espionage (trailer park style), gossip (move over Barbera Eden-Harper Valley), feuding neighbors (yeah, Hatfields and McCoys), I guarantee, you will not be disappointed.
Think that sums it. Need to take a cold shower now.

This book is funny, witty and HOT. I took it into work and was reading it on my lunch hour - blimey - I ended up eating my dinner at 30 miles and hour!! It is really funny and at times I was almost laughing out loud! This was a good read and I have passed the word around so a few friends have also purchased!
This review is from: No Lady and Her Tramp (Kindle Edition)
There are strange goings-on at President Park in Grapevine, KY. This satirical look at small town life is really two intertwined stories. The main story is the gossip, back-biting, and general misbehaving going on in this lowbrow, redneck Peyton Place. The other is the story of Grapevine's soon-to-be bestselling author as she writes the story of the world's greatest lover. The last spices the story up while the entire book tickles your funny bone.
This book is satire. It's supposed to be slightly over the top like a caricature. It isn't the book for those who think anything beyond a kiss is too much sex or that sex is too serious to laugh at. It's not for someone from a small town who feels they're inferior because of it. But for those with the ability to recognize their own foibles and still laugh. For those who can see the humor in the human condition with all its warts exposed. This is the book for you.
